JOB DETAILS:
The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

The Opportunity

In Finance, our vision is ‘to be a globally trusted partner in the organisation’s delivery of life-changing programmes for girls and young women’.
We aim to do this by ‘providing the robust financial systems, reports, tools and data, and the skilled people to enable successful project delivery. We equip our customers with the insights, capabilities, and expert advice that they need to change lives’.

Plan International have embarked on an ambitious and exciting strategic change initiative to make the organisation more transparent, legitimate and agile. Stregthening our financial planning, processes, decision making and analytics is a key enabler in attaining our strategic goals.

• With the Finance Transformation Directorate, it will strengthen capability and improve capacity in teams to deliver core finance activities.

In line with our strategic priority to scale up the humanitarian impact, the Directorate will also lead in shaping and managing effective and clear financial standards and processes for managing our humanitarian responses in collaboration with the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) team.
As head of the Directorate, you will work closely with the Regional Finance Directors for Plan’s four regions (Asia Pacific, Middle Eastern, Eastern, Southern Africa, West and Central Africa, and Region of the Americas) ensuring that your team provides guidance, oversight and quality support to their regional finance teams. You will also lead the financial support to the Global Programme and Operation Leadership team (GPOLT) by being a core member of the team.
